Happy New Year

I hope everyone had a good new years, ours was pretty uneventful which I think is pretty common when you have a kid. Thinking back on the last year has made me wish this year to be so much greater. Not that last year was just so completely horrible but there were things that I definitely could have lived without like my Mom and Grandma both having congestive heart failure and of course the dismal election scares the crap out of me. Even Christmas which I have to admit I still love just as much as I did when I was a kid was kind of a downer because everyone had the flu. I'm going to try to be positive about this year though, we found out on Tuesday that we are having a girl so that's some good news. Jason and I were both shocked by that because we were both pretty sure that it was going to be a boy. Ava ask me everyday, "Where's sister Mommy?" that is hard to explain and Jason's explanation for that question is mommy ate her, I tell him all the time that this is going to scar her for life but he thinks it's funny. Today I have been taking down all the Christmas decorations which I'm kind of relieved to be putting away the tree was starting to shed horribly. Jason is planning on continuing taking his classes next semester but I think I'm going to hold off on mine considering my due date is May 14th. Ava is hilarious now she says the funniest things and is talking in full sentences, but some of the things she says shocks me too. Like Ava remembers everything she never forgets any detail ever so Jason was telling me she has a mind like an elephant and she turned to me and said, "Well Momma is a cow!" Of all things a cow? All I can say is thanks Ava though I was laughing pretty hard which made her repeat it over and over again.
